PTI founder Imran Khan has endorsed President Dr Arif Alvi’s decision to not convene a session of the National Assembly.

The people’s mandate has been stolen through massive rigging and the biggest dacoity, he said while talking to the media at the Adiala Jail on Tuesday.

Imran said he had dictated a letter to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), adding that he was not in contact with the party leaders and the letter would be dispatched to the fund within a day after a discussion with his party leaders. He said that the IMF would be apprised that the economy could not be stabilised without political stability.

The former premier recalled that the PML-N and the PPP had demanded the withdrawal of cases for extending support to the legislation related to the Financial Action Task Force.

The PTI founder said his party was contacting all political parties whose mandate was stolen in the election and it would give a protest call on Saturday.
